Washington Vice President Mike Pence announced just after 3:40 a.m. Thursday that Elected President Joe Biden had won the presidency after Congress completed the count of the Electoral College’s votes. Which was largely seen as a final step before the inauguration of Mr. Biden, turned into a day of chaos after an angry crowd of rioters stormed the US Capitol in an attempt to stop the process.
Congress had to hold recess for nearly six hours after the angry crowd of President Trump’s supporters stormed the US Capitol, left four people dead in the disappointment and sent members of Congress to flee the floor during what the leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell, had earlier branded ‘most’. important voice I have ever cast. ‘
Earlier Wednesday, President Trump urged his supporters to ‘walk over’ to the US Capitol when Congress counts the votes of the Electoral College, which is the big ceremonial final step that confirms President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. Although Mr. Trump has recently insisted that Vice President Mike Pence has the authority to block the election results, Pence said. Trump braved Wednesday and issued a lengthy statement that he could not change the outcome.
Chaos erupted a few hours later at the American Capitol when an angry crowd of rioters – many waving Trump flags or wearing Trump gear – stormed the building.
DC police said one woman was shot dead by police and three people died in medical emergencies. More than 52 people were arrested, and 47 of them were arrested for violating the evening clock.
Mr. Biden gave a speech in Delaware in which he denounced the violence and appealed to Mr. Trump did to address the country. Mr. Trump then posted a one-minute video on Twitter in which he said the rioters were “special” but that they “should go home now.”
Congress reconvened nearly six hours later after leaving the floor, where he stopped when he heard Senator Ted Cruz and Paul Gosar’s objection to Arizona’s election results. The Senate rejects the objection 93-6, and the House rejects it 303-121.
Despite calls from more than a dozen senators saying they would support objections to election results in key states, no senators signed up to the House members’ objections to the results in Michigan and Nevada.
But Senator Josh Hawley kept his promise to object to Pennsylvania’s results. The Senate rejected it 92-7 and the House debated it for two hours before it was rejected after 3 p.m.
Since none of these objections had the majority, it had no chance of succeeding. Even if there was a majority on any of the objections, it would not change the outcome of the election. Mr. Prayers will be sworn in on January 20th.
